Shropshire re-election good news for Princess Royal Hospital

Tory candidate Mark Pritchard has been named MP for The Wrekin for a record breaking fourth time.

The Conservatives received 27,454 votes, nearly 10,000 more than Labour’s candidate Dylan Harrison.

Mr Pritchard said he was “thrilled and humbled” to be re-elected with a very large majority, and vowed to
bring high paid jobs to the area, in particular through his fight for the Princess Royal Hospital.

“My top priority now is Princess Royal Hospital and the associated accident and emergency unit.

“I will continue making sure we expand defence jobs and service jobs in the area, getting higher paid jobs into the area and thirdly I want to try to do more getting Shropshire on the map with tourism.

“We can do more on a local and national level.”

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is the main provider of district general hospital services for nearly half a million people in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and mid Wales.
